"March is National Reading Month! To celebrate, we're bringing you book recommendations from Himmelfarb Staff! Today's recommendation comes from Randy Plym, Himmelfarb's Evening/Weekend Circulation Supervisor. Title: Play It As It Lays Author: John Didion Genre: Fiction Where to Get Book: Request from Consortium Loan Service What Randy Says About the Book: ""One of the best novels set in Hollywood, in my opinion. It's such a perfect unity between tone, setting, writing style, and messaging. And for the clinician, it provides a pretty solid example of the depressive mind's flirtation with nihilism.""
